J.J. Thompson discovered that cathode rays were made up of electrons, and determined the mass-to-charge ratio of the electrons. He found that the mass-to-charge ratio of the cathode rays was much smaller than that of hydrogen, and concluded that constituent particles (electrons) must be the building blocks of atoms. He modeled the neutral atom as a sphere of negatively charged electrons distributed amongst positively charged protons. This is known as the "plum pudding" model or the Thompson model of the electron.
Ernest Rutherford proved that the Thompson model was incorrect when he discovered that gold atoms consist of an outside layer of electrons, with a center nucleus densely packed with protons.
the electron was discovered be J.J. Thomson identifying the negative charge by using cathode rays and Robert Millikan found the mass of it which is 9.10938215(45)×10−31.

Well, that's kinda a trick question because an electron is pure energy. An electron particle is also the smallest of the 4, so its the electron (eventhough an electron is a weichtless particle such as a graviton or magneton! Hope I helped!!
virtually all the mass in concentrated in the nucleus of the atom, as the electron's mass is so small, it is negligible.
All parts of the atom weigh something but when doing calculations electrons are said to have a mass of 0. This is because they actually have a mass of 1/1836 amu which is insignificantly small and so it is disregarded.
The mass of a proton is 1836 times greater than the mass of an electron.
0.1155 u
no, the mass spectrometer.
1/1836 of an electron is the mass of an electron. It is so small they aren't even calculated in the Atomic Mass of an element
They are calculated by atomic mass units (amu) proton-1amu neutron-1amu electron-0amu
The mass of an electron is regarded as zero when it is at rest. The mass of an electron or any particle is calculated by using its momentum and its energy. The mass of an electron is related to its momentum which is zero when the electron is not moving. So when the electron is at rest its momentum is zero and thus its mass is zero. When an electron is moving its mass is no longer zero as its momentum is not zero. It is calculated by using the following equation: Mass = Energy / (Speed of Light)2The mass of an electron increases as its energy increases and it increases even more when it is moving at a higher speed. So when the electron is at rest and its momentum is zero its mass is also zero.
Because the mass of electron is negligible when compared to the mass of protons or neutrons.
IF im correct it is the GCD (greatest common divisor) from our set of data
No -- an electron is a point particle with mass, charge, and spin. The probability that you will find an electron at a specific point can, however, often be calculated by wave functions. Any moving mass can be considered either a particle or a wave. Its properties can be defined via the deBorlie wave equation.
The mass of an electron is atomic mass units is 5,485 799 090 70(16); the mass of the electron is not an atomic mass.
The electron has no atomic mass number. The mass of an electron is roughly 1/1800 of the mass of a proton or neutron.
Of the neutron, proton, and electron, the electron has the smallest mass.
Twice the mass of the electron, since the positron has the same mass of the electron. Or the equivalent, in energy units.An electron has a mass or energy of 511 keV.
Electron has a mass of about 9.10938215 × 10−31 kg.
